Is anyone looking at the possibility of linking the Trailblazer sites
together (in local areas) to form a news distribution backbone?

It seems to me the Trailblazer sites could shunt the stuff around and
then distribute to the slower sites. (This might also be a nice time
to look at who feeds who news and maybe shunt those around too)

Does anyone see problems in this?
